A seminar presented by Rob Edwards on the topic of Privacy Laws
and their impact on Fundraising followed by Christmas Networking drinks
and nibbles.
As fundraisers
it’s our job to know as much as we can about our donors to help us communicate
effectively and meaningfully with them. In turn,
donors trust us to do the right thing not only with their donations but also
with their personal information. Should trust be broken it is very hard to
rebuild.
More and more
individuals are becoming increasingly aware of their right to access their
information and to question how a company or organisation is using that
information. It has been
two years since the Privacy Act was amended. Significant changes came into
effect, and with those changes is confusion.
Many of you
are asking:
- Is it opt-out or is it
opt-in? What does opt-in really mean?
- How do I know if I or
my team are complying with the privacy principles?
- What privacy
statements must I have and where must they appear?
- Can I approach
prospects now?
- Can I swap our donors
with another organisation?
Many of us are
struggling to understand if we are complying properly with the privacy
principles. This is your opportunity to:
- Learn the key points so that you are
adhering with the law and,
- Ask questions to one of the leading experts in
this area – Rob Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of Fundraising Institute
Australia
Rob has played
a key role in representing the concerns and interests of the Direct Marketing
and Fundraising sectors to State and Federal Government. He has spearheaded the
formulation of recommendations leading to today’s privacy legislation and
principles. Rob will share
insight into the key points of the Privacy Act and its principles, and answer
your questions so you can leave confident that you are privacy compliant.
This is
a MUST attend Professional Development seminar for ALL fundraising,
marketing and communication professionals.
